2/5
"In a clear-cut case of arrested development, the film that crowns Luc Besson's career is a magical phantasmagoria for the kids, and a derivative mess for their parents."  Channel 4 Film  Anton Bitel

"It took me a few minutes to get used to the strange look of the Minimoy universe in 'Arthur and the Invisibles,' but I soon became enchanted with it."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

"Admirably blends animation and live-action and has a lot on offer for kids, though adults will probably yawn more than once at the predictable twists and turns of the plot."  european-films.net  Boyd van Hoeij

C+
"Highmore has been given a free pass from Besson to act his little heart out, and this gifted kid has decided to use the Dakota Fanning 3000 method of predictable, robotic child acting. It's disappointing to witness."  OhmyNews.com  Brian Orndorf

2/4
"...there's exceedingly little here to hold the interest of even the most patient adult."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

3/4
"Luc Besson's Arthur and the Invisibles clears the smog left behind by the year's dubious family entertainments."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

5/10
"Click here to read review"  vj.net.ua  Jaroslav Vishtaljuk

2/5
"full review in Greek"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

2/5
"With its Day-Glo colors and fast pace, this $80 million live action/animated film may be the first acid trip for kids."  Film-Forward.com  Kent Turner

2/4
"A movie with imaginative elements but little imagination."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

"Imagine the Smurfs meeting Troll dolls in the world of The Dark Crystal..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

2.5/4
"Arthur and the Invisibles has a story so psychedelic that each movie ticket purchased should also include a black light poster and some incense. Kids weaned on the likes of Pixar and Shrek won't know what to make of it."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

C
"The underground adventures are an unfortunate mixture of po-mo snark and potty humor (some just plain pot humor as well)."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

2.5/5
"Several parts of the narrative don't gel, feeling designed simply to look cool or sound funny."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

C+
"...a cute and sassy little fantasy film that borrows from many sources (oft times forgoing originality for familiarity)."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

C-
"... a stiff affair that mixes overripe live action and starchy CGI animation."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker
